En los soleados vecindarios de Long Beach, California, nació una banda única que dejaría una marca indeleble en la música. Sublime se formó en 1988, fusionando el punk rock y el reggae para crear un sonido distintivo y rompedor. La banda estaba compuesta por Bradley Nowell en la guitarra y voz, Eric Wilson en el bajo y Bud Gaugh en la batería.
Desde sus humildes inicios tocando en fiestas y bares locales, Sublime rápidamente comenzó a ganar seguidores gracias a su energía inigualable y letras provocadoras.
La música de Sublime es una mezcla ecléctica de diversos géneros, incluyendo ska, reggae, punk y hip-hop. Sus letras a menudo abordan temas como el amor, las drogas, el racismo y la vida callejera en una ciudad costera de California.
Sublime se distinguía por la habilidad única de Bradley Nowell para mezclar géneros aparentemente dispares en canciones que eran tanto melódicas como llenas de actitud. Esto les permitió conectar con una amplia gama de oyentes y crear una base de fans diversa y dedicada.
El primer álbum de estudio de la banda, "40oz. to Freedom" (1992), fue lanzado bajo el sello independiente Skunk Records. Este trabajo inicialmente pasó desapercibido pero ganó tracción con singles como "Smoke Two Joints" y "Badfish".
En 1994, Sublime lanzó su segundo álbum, "Robbin' the Hood". Aunque este disco no tuvo un impacto comercial significativo en su momento, sigue siendo una joya cult,

5446 (Live) Lyrics5446
Do you believe i would take such a thing with me
And give it to a police man
I wouldn't do that i wouldn't do that
If i did that would you say
Sir come down and put the charge on me
I wouldn't do that oohhh i wouldn't do that
I'm not a fool to hurt myself
But i was innocent to what they done to me
They were wrong they were wrong
Give it to me one time (ohh give it to me,yeah!)
Give it to me - two times
Give it to me three times
Give it to me four times
Oh 5446 was my number was my number now
Right now somebody else has that number
(one more time)
5447 was my number was my number now
Right now somebody else has that number
''cause we're chillin' and we're chillin' into the club all night
We're chillin' and we're chillin' into the club all night
Hear the dub hear the beat in the dog pound dj
Lord have his grilled cheese
Some jealous punk snuck up around my back
Tried to take the lovin' over me
Lord i got into a fist fight
And wound up in jail all night
Give it to me one time (ohh yes, ooh my pussy)
Give it to me - two times
Give it to me three time
Give it to me four time
People listen up don't stand too near
I've got somethin' that you all should hear
All lies all the lies told to me
Form a little part of history
I was always taught that boy meets girl
Fall in love get married and forget the world
Nine months later the sweet baby's on the way
Kiss him on the cheek and life's okay
I don't feel no pain
I don't have no time
To listen to conflicting points of view, oh
It's a crazy world to live alone
A ball and chain i call my own
A ba na na na na whooo
People listen up don't stand too close
I've got somethin' that you all should know
Holy matrimony is not for me
I'd rather die alone in misery
Because i was always taught boy meets girl
Fall in love get married and forget the world
Nine months later sweet baby's on the way
Isn't that what they used to say
With a girl you knew
And the bonds that we grew
Turned into a ball and chain
I step into the great unknown
And a ball and chain i call my home
A-ba-na-na-na-na, whooo
Crazy world to live alone
With a girl that you knew
And the bonds that we grew
Turned into a ball and chain, ohh
I step into the great unknown
And a ball and chain i call my own
Because marriage doesn't work in the world today
It's an institution that is in decay
And if i have love i wish to portray
I will surley find another way
Because i was always taught that boy meets girl
Fall in love get married and forget the world
Nine months later the sweet baby's on the way
Kiss him on the cheek and life's okay
I don't feel no pain
I don't have no time
To listen to conflicting points of view whoa
I step into the great unknown
With a ball and chain i call my own
A-ba-na-na-na-na whoooo
